An atmospheric and romantic debut fantasy perfect for fans of Ash and The Winner’s Curse.
Betrothed since childhood to the prince of Mynaria, Princess Dennaleia has always known what her future holds. Her marriage will seal the alliance between Mynaria and her homeland, protecting her people from other hostile kingdoms.
But Denna has a secret. She possesses an Affinity for fire—a dangerous gift for the future queen of a land where magic is forbidden.
Now Denna has to learn the ways of her new kingdom while trying to hide her growing magic. To make matters worse, she must learn to ride Mynaria’s formidable warhorses before her coronation—and her teacher is the person who intimidates her most, the prickly and unconventional Princess Amaranthine, sister of her betrothed.
When a shocking assassination leaves the kingdom reeling, Mare and Denna reluctantly join forces to search for the culprit. As the two work together, they discover there is more to one another than they thought—and soon their friendship is threatening to blossom into something more.
But with dangerous conflict brewing that makes the alliance more important than ever, acting on their feelings could be deadly. Forced to choose between their duty and their hearts, Mare and Denna must find a way to save their kingdoms—and each other.
Plus don't miss the sequel: Of Ice and Shadows!

This book is a very classic concept. It also doesn’t do anything very extraordinary with it. It was fun. The main relationship had good chemistry. But I felt like there was missing something to make me really care a lot. I never truly fell into this world. Part of that may have been the lacking world building. Next to the romance it tries to be political high fantasy, but too much knowledge about the culture and politics of this world and the kingdoms is missing for me to really get into it. There were also some really heavy moments that never got to me to the extend that the should. There are some major deaths in this book and they didn’t have enough of an emotional impact on me or even the characters.
